Car Hire Comparison

Ah — summertime has finally arrived. There’s something about the summer months that make it the perfect season to hop into your car, crank up your favorite tunes and belt out the lyrics like the tone-deaf, inner rock-star you were born to be!

These carefree, summer days are made for car-karaoke sessions, so today let’s pay homage to some of the greatest, road trip tunes that have been popularized by their Hollywood cameos. We present to you our Top 10 list of “Memorable Road Trip Scenes in Movies” — and yes, we dare you not to sing along!

1. “Tiny Dancer” by Elton John in Almost Famous (2000)

This semi-autobiographical flick about a young Rolling Stone magazine journalist features the classic scene with everyone singing along to the 1971 classic “Tiny Dancer” by Elton John - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qn3tel9FWU

5. “Superstar,” “Come On Eileen,” and “It’s the End of the World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)” in “Tommy Boy” [1995]

On the road to make sales to keep his father’s company open, the comedic duo of David Spade and Chris Farley do a bit of emotional bonding to this medley of traveling music – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7RiYPibdKs

6. “Sweet Child O Mine” by Guns n’ Roses in “Step Brothers” [2008]

We see a foreshadowing of events to come when Derek leads the family in an acapella rendition of Sweet Child O Mine by Guns n’ Roses, and find’s Alice’s singing to be a little flat – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tm2Jy64b0dI

7. “Free Fallin” by Tom Petty in “Jerry Maguire”[1996]

Remember how free your felt the first time you saw Jerry Maguire? Tom Cruise, as “Jerry Maguire,” finds Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” on the radio and can’t help but singalong – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pvnyjpfsAc

10. “Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows” by Leslie Gore in The Simpsons episode “Marge on the Lamb” [1993]

Even though it isn’t a film per se, we had to include it here. Referring to a joke earlier in the episode, Chief Wiggum puts in his cassette tape of the 1963 song Sunshine Lollipops and Rainbows and starts singing along. It really cheers Homer up in the back seat, and he sings along with Clancy – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9riCK5ivhis
